I'm not made of money

xt1meI still have a problem with my eye.
I mean, it's not really an issue since I'm not in pain and it's not affecting my vision. But the fact remains that I have a spot/boil/sore under my eyelid.
Still.
I took the antibiotics for a week as directed but nothing changed.
I then left it a week to see if it would clear up (and because I had car issues, more on that later)
but no change.
I went back to the GP and they said if the antibiotics didn't do anything then chances are it's not an infection.
It's either a thing that will clear up on it's own after a couple of mounts and I can ignore it. Or it's something that needs a procedure to clear.
So it's back to the eye specialist.
The doctor sent off a note so I'm just waiting to hear back. But it does mean I wasted money on 2 doctors appointments & antibiotics and now I going to have to pay for the option as well.
*sigh*
In other news, I was driving out of the car park after shopping the weekend before last and reversed into a steal pillar I wasn't paying attention to.
I drove around to a bunch of car repair places to get an estimate on how much it'd cost to fix, and my god, it's so expensive.
It was all cosmetic damages, the car ran fine and the lights all worked. But i did shatter the tine window next to the main one and misaligned one of my lights (something I think only matters for the NCT).
So it added up.
Thankfully I found one place that cost less then €1,000. It took them the rest of the week to get the parts but I drove my car into them last Tuesday morning and was able to pick it up the next day at 2pm.
They even cleaned up the nasty green stuff growing in the corners of the outside I never got around to cleaning off.
I had to spend so much money last week.
